Reset failure reason when connection was successful

2017-06-30T09:05:48Z

When APT was trying multiple addresses, any later error somewhere else would be reported with ConnectionRefused or ConnectionTimedOut as the FailReason because that was set by early connect attempts. This causes APT to handle the failures differently, leading to some weirdly breaking test cases (like the changed one). Add debugging to the previously failing test case so we can find out when something goes wrong there again.

allow methods to be disabled and redirected via config

2016-08-10T21:19:44Z

To prevent accidents like adding http-sources while using tor+http it can make sense to allow disabling methods. It might even make sense to allow "redirections" and adding "symlinked" methods via configuration. This could e.g. allow using different options for certain sources by adding and configuring a "virtual" new method which picks up the config based on the name it was called with like e.g. http does if called as tor+http.

implement generic config fallback for methods

2016-08-10T21:19:44Z

The https method implemented for a long while now a hardcoded fallback to the same options in http, which, while it works, is rather inflexible if we want to allow the methods to use another name to change their behavior slightly, like apt-transport-tor does to https – most of the diff being s#https#tor#g which then fails to do the full circle fallthrough tor -> https -> http for https sources. With this config infrastructure this could be implemented now.

test: Pass -maxdepth 1 when running find in methods dir

2016-08-06T00:29:49Z

This fixes a test failures in the cmake branch which contains sub directories in the methods output dir.

tests: support spaces in path and TMPDIR

2015-12-19T22:04:34Z

This doesn't allow all tests to run cleanly, but it at least allows to write tests which could run successfully in such environments. Git-Dch: Ignore

use @CHANGEPATH@ as placeholder in changelog URI templates

2015-12-02T11:59:23Z

This should make it more obvious that CHANGEPATH is a placeholder which apt will replace with a package specific path rather than a string constant. Mail-Reference: <87d1upgvaf.fsf@deep-thought.43-1.org> Mail-Archive: https://lists.debian.org/debian-dak/2015/12/msg00005.html

tests: use quiet level 0 by default in tests

2015-11-19T16:13:56Z

Git-Dch: Ignore

tests: don't use hardcoded port for http and https

2015-09-15T08:16:09Z

This allows running tests in parallel. Git-Dch: Ignore

tests: try to support spaces in TMPDIR

2015-09-14T13:22:19Z

Not all tests work yet, most notable the cdrom tests, but those require changes in libapt itself to have a proper fix and what we have fixed so far is good enough progress for now. Git-Dch: Ignore

condense parallel requests with the same hashes to one

2015-06-15T21:35:55Z

It shouldn't be too common, but sometimes people have multiple mirrors in the sources or otherwise repositories with the same content. Now that we gracefully can handle multiple requests to the same URI, we can also fold multiple requests with the same expected hashes into one. Note that this isn't trying to find oppertunities for merging, but just merges if it happens to encounter the oppertunity for it. This is most obvious in the new testcase actually as it needs to delay the action to give the acquire system enough time to figure out that they can be merged.
